you can't be intelligence when it's coming straight from a guy in the inner circle. >> he's connected. we believe the information he gave is real good. >> so is it fair to say you think his own guys could have something to do with it? >> oh yeah. everybody wants to be the top dog. >> you're going out into the mean streets. >> got one. >> you never know what's going to happen. >> you were going to shoot one

of my friends is what you were going to do. >> did you know the gun was in the car? >> no. >> you had no idea? >> no. >> i'm willing to work with you, but i got to know you have something good to offer us. >> what's the street saying? >> it's all out war. >> two bundles of cash, two keys of heroin. >> did you ever hear the saying, the truth sets you free? >> have you ever worked with the police before or no?

a lot of times walking through, you grab somebody cold that seems like they want to talk or you start talking to staff to see if somebody said something to me about wanting to talk. receiving is totally hit or miss. >> new detainees arrive by the dozen every day at chicago's cook county jail. most of them have only been accused, not convicted of crimes, and are being held while they await trial. >> back again? you're back again? for what? come here. you like jail? >> no. >> why you back? >> when they come in here they're defeated already. once you come in you already know i already lost for now and let me latch on to whoever wants to listen to what i have to say.

used to be? traveler? what are you in for? >> when is the last time you were in here? >> messing up man. for real. >> it be like that sometime. what can you do though. >> help yourself out. help me out. nothing? >> i can't sing or dance. >> it's always the same song from us except their response is a little different depending where they're at in their lives. >> what's up? >> talk about what's going on in here, man. >> what's going on man? >> in this county. >> how do you know? you ain't even been in the county yet. this is just receiving. where you from? oak park. what kind of case you got? >> a domestic. >> domestics hurts. >> i didn't even do it. that's what i want to talk about, too. >> not here to talk about your case. >> not talk about the case.

i thought you wanted to talk about something important. >> i haven't ate man since friday. >> and i look like the pizza hut delivery guy. >> finding a good informant is always a roll of the dice but today following a tip from jail corrections staff, criminal intelligence unit investigators have plucked a new inmate with real potential. he's giving up inside information about a mexican drug cartel operating in chicago. police already assume he's got the connections. they seized several kilos of cocaine from his car during a traffic stop. he's facing narcotics delivery charges and up to 60 years in prison. >> as far as we know right now he's just a driver but he's a trusted driver somebody they kept in the mix. they trusted him enough to give him locations, drop off points pickup points. he's connected, we just don't know how far. he's not too crazy about coming forward. all the guys he was working

with, they pretty much left him in the dark. he's got to fend for himself. he knows that. >> the inmate who we will call caesar declined to speak on camera. what he reveals to investigators is that he hauled drugs and money for two separate suppliers, one that runs cocaine and the other heroin. he says he made multiple trips to a house in buffalo grove, an affluent northwest suburb to pick up large quantities of heroin. >> we just have an address. it's a house right in the middle of the block. there's no names. everything is nicknames and that's how everybody knows each other. that's their way of concealment. they tell them how to get there. he jumps in the back of the track, they hand him the bricks, drives away takes it where he has to do. comes back three weeks later and drops off $100,000. few weeks go by he goes and picks up more bricks. potentially at any give time you might have $1 million worth of money in there or $1 million worth of product.

one trip he can make up to $550,000550000 $55,000 $55,000. the temptation is rough. you're making $55,000 a drop off? that's pretty hard to pass by. >> at this point authorities have no proof of criminal activity at the target residence, only the informant's word. so sheriff's police investigator larry rivlin sends an undercover unit to watch the house. he and members of the northwest gang team later follow in their own unmarked cars to conduct surveillance. >> if you see any movement coming from the house such as any vehicles coming and going, we're going to have other patrol cars take down that vehicle and try and i.d. the driver and passengers. if we get lucky, we'll have somebody coming out dirty, meaning they will be carrying some heroin with them. if that's the case, we'll be able to possibly get a john doe search warrant to search that residence. thank you.

>> just letting you know, somebody keeps coming to the window. there they are again. looking out the window looking out the window. not sure if they're looking for heat or if they're expecting somebody to show up to pick up a package. >> okay. so the we're just going to go in and sit down this block, black out. we're in position facing the house opposite you. >> 10-4. do you see movement in the far right window from your angle? >> there we go. >> either he's leaving -- >> [ inaudible ]. >> yeah, those plinds blinds on the right are definitely

shutting. >> this is weird. >> 50 miles away on the opposite end of cook county a different kind of waiting game is playing out in chicago's south suburbs where sheriff's police are on the prowl for dope hustlers and gang members. >> this job takes a lot of patience. especially when you're on drug dealer time. they don't have any fixed schedules at all. the criminals work 24 hours a day. most of the people we go after those are going to be your more aggressive criminals out here. >> there's one krinl i talked to once before and he told me he spent a lot of time in jail. he's not going back. he said that if i ever corner somebody who has been in jail

before and they have nothing to lose and they don't want to go back to jail again, he says you're going to have to kill them because they're going to try to kill you. you just never know when you're going to run into that person out here. >> that's the reality that every cop faces on every stop. >> terry. >> yeah. >> got 32. >> look at that and the hammer is back too. ready to roll. >> did you know the gun was in the car? >> no. >> you had no idea? >> no. >> okay. you got to remember one thing, we do have the upper hand. humans -- even when we cross our t's and dot our i's, we still run into problems. namely, other humans. which is why at liberty mutual insurance, auto policies come with new car replacement and accident forgiveness if you qualify. see what else comes standard

bus along with 50 or 6 other inmates. as soon as he walks in they will hear people screaming on the new, on the new, saying he's a new inmate coming in. he's going to have to basically prove himself. he's a big guy. that might work against him though because people might start messing with him to see what he has. he's only 18 years old. he's still a young kid. it's going to be a hard time for him. it's going to be a real hard time. >> keep your hands together. >> while one potential informant strikes out, another delivers police a bona fide home run. >> we have two bundles of cash. two keys of heroin. >> but the spoils don't end there. investigator larry rivlin learns a second vehicle has left the target house. another police unit pulls that car over and finds even more bundles of cash.

>> we need to go back to the house right away. >> time is of the essence. >> jamie, we're going to need a couple uniforms over here. >> tell them we're moving in. we're moving in. >> i can't see anything. here he comes. >> how are you, sir? open the door, please. >> it just looked to us like the individual who lived there wasn't the main guy or hooked up to be one of the main guys. the guys living there with his wife and kids it's a family. just seems like a regular home, and that's probably how most of these spots are, the distribution spots. >> he states he's just a mechanic and people bring their cars here to get fixed and there's no trafficking whatsoever going on. the machine is back there that packaged it.

he did give consent to search and we'll be searching the inside of the house with the dogs. we have a helicopter to search the backyard. hopefully the helicopter will give us enough light. >> there's a creek that runs behind the house. allegedly they were stashing the heroin inside the creek according to the ci. >> it was real shallow. i don't think they were using it anymore. >> got something, craig? >> investigators scour the property for evidence. they recover what they believe to be more drug money and packaging, but no narcotics. >> we have four offenders in custody. we'll put them on hold for investigation. tomorrow we'll have a nice long conversation with them. right now we're going back to buffalo grove police department and inventory the cash and the heroin. >> these bags some of them are

numbered. 25 30. this is 30000 it's$30,000 right here. we will have the bag counted, but it looked like about $185,000 cash. this is 2.2 pounds, a kilo of heroin. >> you guys are going to bust them, right? >> no, inventoried as is. it's over ten grand. not even worth counting. >> can i just lay on it naked? >> now that the jailhouse informant caesar has proven himself, investigators plan to work with him further. he's already vowed to give up even bigger targets within the

mexican drug cartels but they run into a brick wall when federal authorities intervene a few days later. the feds suspect that caesar is more than just a driver for the cartel. they have linked him to a particularly savage homicide, the kind that the cartels are known for. >> these are homicides meant to send a message. they're not just going up to somebody and killing them. they're tying them, torturing them. it's pretty serious. might not ever get out of jail so we're at the point now we can't help him. you know, obviously his past came back and caught up with him. came to light right after the operation. when we get to meet him all we see is what they're in for, face value. all these individuals all seem real nice when they're in here, real calm and collected. you just don't know what they're like outside on the streets. >> when "the seize" continues -- >> a lot of gangs want to claim

it. they get points off who killed the leader. >> somebody is going to get famous off this murder. you and i know that. >> somebody is in their glory right now. laughing cheering, smiling that they killed one. it was like a red rash... very sore looking kinda blistery. like somebody had set a bag of hot charcoal on my neck. i was a firefighter for 24 years. but, i have never encountered such a burning sensation until i had the shingles. i remember it well. i was in the back yard doing yard work. i had this irritation going on in

my lower neck. i changed shirts because i thought there was something in the collar of the shirt irritating my neck. and i couldn't figure out what was going on. i had no idea it came from chickenpox. i always thought shingles was associated with people... a lot older than myself. i can tell you from experience it is bad. it's something you never want to encounter. for more of the inside story visit shinglesinfo.com

is. what i've done is grabbed four informants, guys that live on the block. the more people you hear a story from, then you put the story together. >> so you think his own guys would have something to do with it? >> everybody wants to be the top dog out there. >> ain't love out there for nobody. >> is it fair that this could be the guy? >> yes. >> knowing that the police are out there daily, what is the game plan? >> police they they can shut us don on every corner. we know exactly what to expect. we're just letting time pass by. we're basically waiting to see when we find our opportunity. >> investigators have all kinds of leads but nothing solid enough to make an arrest. they know it's only a matter of

time before bobby d.'s killing sparks more bloodshed. whether it's his block or countless other hot spots across chicago, police find it harder than ever to maintain a presence everywhere they need to. >> they are sizing us up. what can we get away with? >> the result a city that feels less safe while the criminals grow emboldened. >> when i first came to gangs years back, we spent an entire summer working a two-block section in chicago heights. an entire summer. that's how much it took. >> anything that moves looks like it's getting stopped. >> when you hit an area with a large number of officers you're taking that street crime away

because they don't know where the next police car is going to turn from and the volume of calls will drop. but when you pull off and move to the next area they just come right back again. the people you locked up are locked up, somebody else will take their spots, and the cycle continues. every department is down. we all have to work under budgets and we all have to be responsible and do the best we can with what we have. you know the worst thing that we want to hear is that we have to do more with even less. >> before 2010 is over three more chicago police officers are shot and killed raising the total to six. it's a record high for any year in more than two decades.

the question that's on every cop's mind when do we reach the breaking point? >> whose gun is that? >> i don't know. i keep telling you, i don't know. >> we got a gun. you know what i'm saying? i just found a gun a foot and a half from your hand after you ducked back into the car when we pulled up. >> every day is different. you talk about stress and adrenaline -- >> sheriff's police search warrant. >> we have to immediately ramp it up to address a level of violence that may result in death. everybody has their own way to try and deal with it and they have to have their own way. you can't keep that bottled up inside. at the end of the night we'll all talk about the things that we experienced. dispersing that pain amongst a group of friends is really what gets you through complicated days.

i trust these guys with my life. >> you all good guys? >> all right, man. >> these guys have my back. i know that they do. i don't have to turn around and worry about who is going to be there. one of them will
